I'll see the actual OP first before joining, but sure, sign me up as interested.

@Alphakoka
Well I guess I'll put up the interest check.

@LeeRoy What are we talking about?

@LeeRoy

By not recognizing me as a member of the arena, you've put yourself on the top of my hit list.

And let me tell you now, I'm a pirate... yes... those round bullets are coated in grog and aged egg yolk.

@Dazsos
Square up, I'm already fighting the pirate queen apparently. I'm sure I can take a lowly pirate.

@yoshua171 A new Multiverse, not based in Skallagrim's nexus of worlds. But in my own thing that's way more open ended, and on a much more reasonable scale.

Alright everyone, the Interest Check is up.

World of War

@LeeRoy
There are a thousand self proclaimed pirate kings and queens, if you believe but one of them... you've already lost.

Best hope you fit in the barrel, else you're useless to us otherwise.

@LeeRoy You forgot the unofficial unelected unimpeachable El presidente of the Arena, the man with no keyboard and a tiny child... Rilla.

@MelonHead
Fair point, though I doubt he'll be available in his current state.

The Baby debuff takes 5 years to even begin to fade, and then another 13 minimum y'kow.

Well like I said before, as long as our established group can claim some territory to form a base it would be cool to duke it out to annex all of it eventually under the Shinra umbrella!

But it seems you are wanting to separate it from contact outside of its own self contained world. So that might not work out to well.

I think it's where we see things as "omniversal". The omniverse is everything...every single multiverse and realty is linked somehow to others and is under the broad term of omniverse. Which is basically just the infinite worlds, universes, and multiverses of every single story/world/posibility that ever was or ever thought or will be thought. Its kinda trippy...but pretty simple.

Basically the "world of war" is just another component to the larger Omniverse. But it also makes the world of war very possible because there would be omniversal beings that could span from multiple multiverses that got together to create an artificial one. So yeah its totally workable as an idea.

The downside is that we keep our characters in a certain timeline, and we cross over into other places. Having some duplicate over in that world doesn't help with that or push us forward in terms of story.

Haha, that would be pretty interesting. If anything inspires the Arena denizens (IC) it's xenophobia, we tend to be at our best when banding together to destroy foreign threats.

Only we get to kill eachother, get outta here!

Although the world seems separated, there's nothing stopping Shinra being caught up in the mass-relocation as they stumble into Arena controlled space.

lol i should have just made another post instead of editing that one.

@Enki

Well, there's no particular reason why the Arena multiverse can't be part of your character's timeline, no matter how expansive the universes of the Arena are they don't span into other sites, so your characters have essentially punched a hole into another dimension of dimensions to look around. Which is really hard to think about.

I always thought the multiverse the arena existed in was like a conglomerate of all the places our characters came from, and those that can travel between dimensions are the special ones.

If it's not, boy oh boy I've been doing shit wrong.

The multiverse is basically the vague concept that every place described in Arena character's backstories and all the events that transpire in Arena all happen in different but connected universes. One such connection is the Nexus of Worlds, another is the Conjuncture (which is similar to LeeRoy's reiteration of the Multiverse.) A lot of fighting just takes place on Earth, because plenty of characters share that Universe, but some characters need some sciency-magicky-storyteleportation to get into fights, and the Nexus or the Conjuncture provides it.

That being said, only Arena universes are connected by these things, but if someone were to enter the site with pre-established story they can have their characters 'enter' the RPG connected universes (Multiverse) as if they were entering a whole new dimension, which in a sense they are, as absolutely everything is new to them. They don't even particularly need to utilize the pre-established multiverse tools to do it, they can just get caught up in an accident, thrown into a black hole, w/e. If all the universes of the Arena are connected, it's not that much of a stretch to imagine that the multiverses of all sites are connected, just so long as the people behind the story are.

But it seems you are wanting to separate it from contact outside of its own self contained world. So that might not work out to well.

That's literally the opposite of what I said.

As your name falls into obscurity, as your influence grows. So to does your home shrink and envelop.

If you're unknown? You've got no power, a small place in the world.
If you're well known? You've got power, a large place in the world.
If you're legendary? You're all powerful, an empire is yours to control.

No.

No.

Okay.

But have you considered:

YES?!

No.

Well, there we go then. It was a good run everyone, let's pack up and go home.
